Philip Yancey
“[Jesus] invoked a different kind of power: love, not coercion.”
Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew

Philip Yancey
“We are all trophies of God’s grace, some more dramatically than others; Jesus came for the sick and not the well, for the sinner and not the righteous. He came to redeem and transform, to make all things new. May you go forth more committed than ever to nourish the souls who you touch, those tender lives who have sustained the enormous assaults of the universe. (pp.88)”
Philip Yancey, What Good Is God?: In Search of a Faith That Matters

Philip Yancey
“Whatever else it is, the kingdom of God is decidedly not a call to violent revolution.”
Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew

Philip Yancey
“Where is God when it hurts? We know one answer because God came to earth and showed us. You need only follow Jesus around and note how he responded to the tragedies of his day: large-scale tragedies such as an act of government terrorism in the temple or a tower collapsing on eighteen innocent bystanders; as well as small tragedies, such as a widow who has lost her only son or even a Roman soldier whose servant has fallen ill. At moments like these Jesus never delivered sermons about judgment or the need to accept God’s mysterious providence. Instead he responded with compassion – a word from Latin which simply means, “to suffer with” – and comfort and healings. God stands on the side of those who suffer. (pp.27-28/What Good Is God?)”
Philip Yancey, What Good Is God?: In Search of a Faith That Matters

Philip Yancey
“Absolute ideals and absolute grace: after learning that dual message from Russian novelists, I returned to Jesus and found that it suffuses his teaching throughout the Gospels and especially in the Sermon on the Mount.”
Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew
